Perfect for busy families and returning clients
I currently offer:
Spring Mixed Mini Sessions (waitlist open)

Spring mixed mini sessions are one of my most requested offerings each year.
These sessions are ideal for:
Families

- Updated branding photos
- Updated portraits for the new season
Spring mini sessions typically take place in Oakville or Burlington and are released in limited quantities.

Christmas mini sessions are offered once per year and are designed for families who want timeless, holiday-ready imagery without a full session commitment.
These sessions typically include:
A styled, seasonal setting
A short and efficient session
A curated gallery perfect for holiday cards and gifts
Christmas mini sessions take place in November, with dates announced closer to the season.
